As you may aware, illegal dumping is a serious offence in Singapore. Offenders may face fines of up to $50,000 if found guilty and up to a year in jail, or both. Repeat offenders face fines of up to $100,000 and prison terms ranging from one to twelve months. In our tiny Red Dot, there are cameras installed all over. Never believe someone who says they will dispose of your furniture ethically. Find a licensed disposal provider if you want peace of mind and to avoid any potential consequences.
2) Habit of hoarding things
If you are familiar with the term, you are probably guilty of it. Some of us are sentimental and frugal, which is fine. Hence, we frequently store away items that we feel are too wasteful to throw away because we may need them in the future (although we always never). As a result, this junk quickly accumulates. It turns into a problem to handle.
3) Moving into a new home
Moving into a new home always gets homeowners excited. The dining table you’ve owned for the last eight years won’t work with your new house design. It’s time to buy new furnishings to go with your new house. Everyone enjoys the sensation of moving into a newly renovated home.
4) Spring Cleaning
Chinese New Year is around the corner. There will be visitors from friends and family. You want your house to be spotless and free of any unwanted sights. Now is the time to organize your home. All the unused paper bags, broken Tupperware, outdated electronics, clutter from the storage area, worn-out clothing and shoes, CDs, a broken treadmill and massage chair, among many other things. They will create room for a nicer house.
5) Old and worn-out furniture
Things become old. Over time, the sofa you slept on during the couple fights has changed its shape. Beds may get squeaky. Old refrigerators are no longer cold. Outdated designs and broken table legs furniture does outlive its usefulness owing to wear and tear, at which point it needs to be recycled to give it a new life.
